ALL I REALLY NEED TO KNOW....
I LEARNED FROM NOAH'S ARK

1. Plan ahead. It wasn't raining when Noah built the ark.

2. Stay fit. When you're 600 years old, someone might ask you to do something REALLY big.

3. Don't listen to critics -- do what has to be done.

4. Build on high ground.

5. For safety's sake, travel in pairs.

6. Two heads are better than one.

7. Speed isn't always an advantage. The cheetahs were on board, but so were the snails.

8. If you can't fight or flee -- float!

9. Take care of your animals as if they were the last ones on earth.

10. Don't forget that we're all in the same boat.

11. When the doo-doo gets really deep, don't sit there and complain -- shovel!!!

12. Stay below deck during the storm.

13. Remember that the ark was built by amateurs and the Titanic was built by professionals.

14. If you have to start over, have a friend by your side.

15. Remember that the woodpeckers INSIDE are often a bigger threat than the storm outside.

16. Don't miss the boat.

17. No matter how bleak it looks, there's always a rainbow on the other side.

18. "Stop what you're doing, and do what God says!"

Prayers please for my Mom to pass on to Heaven this evening.
This morning she said she was waiting for my sister to get here from California.
She is here, and we have all been holding hands for a couple hours,
trying to get Mom to relax and take my Dad's hand. She said she can see him.

She is trapped deep in Alzheimer's/Dementia. She asked for the dark, so the shade is down and agrees to close her eyes, relax, and nap.
Dear Lord...please bring her to You and my Dad.

[PROCON]

Prayers, Love and Peace be with you and your Mom.

Writing Letters

September 10, 2017

Read: 2 Corinthians 3:1–6

You yourselves are our letter, written on our hearts, known and read by everyone.  2 Corinthians 3:2

My mother and her sisters engage in what is increasingly becoming a lost art form—writing letters. Each week they pen personal words to each other with such consistency that one of their mail-carriers worries when he doesn’t have something to deliver! Their letters brim with the stuff of life, the joys and heartaches along with the daily happenings of friends and family.

I love to reflect on this weekly exercise of the women in my family. It helps me appreciate even more the apostle Paul’s words that those who follow Jesus are “a letter from Christ,” who were “written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God” (2 Cor. 3:3). In response to false teachers who wanted to discredit his message (see 2 Cor. 11), Paul encouraged the church in Corinth to keep on following the true and living God as he had previously taught. In doing so, he memorably described the believers as Christ’s letter, with their transformed lives a more powerful witness to the Spirit working through Paul’s ministry than any written letter could be.

How wonderful that God’s Spirit in us writes a story of grace and redemption! For as meaningful as written words can be, it is our lives that are the best witness to the truth of the gospel, for they speak volumes through our compassion, service, gratitude, and joy. Through our words and actions, the Lord spreads His life-giving love. What message might you send today?

Lord God, write the story of my life so that I might reflect Your love and goodness to those I encounter today.

We are Christ’s letters.

[The Mayor]

praying with you tonight, Dear FRiend.

Praying for your mom and for you, Kathy, and your sister.

I have gone through this recently with my mother-in-law, dying from cancer.

I read Scripture to her in her final days when she was unconscious. I told her Jesus was coming for her and not to be afraid, for she had accepted Him as Savior, and thus she was forgiven and did not have to fear being promoted to Heaven.

Jesus did come for her and we were all together with her when she got promoted.

Precious in the eyes of the Lord is the death of
His saints. Psalm 116:15

“Is It The Crowning Day?”

Jesus may come today
Glad day, glad day!
And I would see my Friend;
Dangers and troubles would end
If Jesus would come today.

Refrain
Glad day, glad day!
Is it the crowning day?
I’ll live for today, nor anxious be;
Jesus, my Lord I soon shall see.
Glad day, glad day!
Is it the crowning day?

I may go home today
Glad day, glad day!
It seems I hear their song;
Hail to the radiant throng!
If I should go home today.

Refrain

Why should I anxious be?
Glad day, glad day!
Lights appear on the shore,
Storms will affright nevermore,
For He is “at hand” today.

Refrain

Faithful I’ll be today,
Glad day, glad day!
And I will freely tell
Why I should love Him so well,
For He is my all today.

Refrain

[lightman]

“O Lord,
support us all the day long of this troubled life,
until the shadows lengthen and the evening comes and the busy world is hushed,
the fever of life is over and our work is done.
Then, Lord, in your mercy,
grant us a safe lodging,
and a holy rest,
and peace at the last,
through Jesus Christ our Lord.”

—Richard of Chichester, 14th Century

My heart breaks for you, Kathy, your family and especially your Mom. I know the struggle you have been going through.

Lord, please wrap your arms around all for comfort and peace. Amen.

[DoughtyOne]

Kathy in Alaska, I wish and pray for the best during your family's hour of need.

For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. LINK

Your mother is already in very good company.

Thank you, FRiend...we've been doing this for a few days. She is still conscious, but has lost almost all short term memory during the last month.
